| - I'm a low-maintenance type of girl (I typically get haircuts on a regular basis but I color my own hair), so when I go to a day spa, it's a really special thing for me. The last time I had a series of treatments done, it was the weekend before I got married, this was in 2006. I used to get regular massages from a masseuse, but that was years ago. I usually do the home spa thing, but of course there are all sorts of distractions- pets, things at home need to get done, etc. Being seven months along, (around august/september 2012) I wanted to get some pampering. And this was the right place to do so!
Spa treatment customers check in 15 minutes before the appointment time. You are then taken to the relaxing check-in room where you fill out a form, sit down, and get offered a refreshment. Then you are directed to the locker room (only one person at a time) where you undress , place your personal belongings into the locker- keep the key around your wrist, and get into the very comfortable cotton robe. You are introduced to the student who will perform your treatment. If you need to go to the restroom, before the treatment begins, you can do so. The spa treatment room is composed of sheet-separated areas in a large room, so if there is noise from the other room (nails, hair), this might bother some of you. For others, I heard snoring from my neighbor, it might not.
I chose the caribbean therapy body treatment for $50.00- body polish & light massage- being pregnant, there were modifications to my treatment; she was very careful with me and always offered me pillows and supports. It all started with a warm foot bath, which was very relaxing. The Aveda products she used smelled heavenly! I was very relaxed, and at the end of the treatment, had a nice glow. I loved every second of the experience. Throughout the experience, the student used aromatherapy- I also got to choose a preference for one of them. I used the restroom again (it's the pregnant lady's reality). I was lead back to the locker room. The instructor met with me to check on the student's performance- I gave her high marks. After the exit interview, the student showed me the products on the floor- they try to sell them to you, but I politely declined. I paid for my service. No tips here, because these are students.
Clean place, felt like a real spa with the exception of the common room (I didn't mind the few moments of noise), excellent service at lower prices, excellent products used, very happy with the spa treatment I received. There were lots of customers here, this is a popular place! I would come back here again, maybe try other treatments though I really enjoyed the caribbean therapy body treatment.
They do spa parties here too @ $15/$25/$35 a person. For services- hair- cut and color, nails, makeup application, specific prices and hours, check the website.
